Hi!
I'm Diane, I will be 57 next month, and I am new to AthletaWell. I started to doing yoga (on youtube) during the pandemic and I have grown to really LOVE it! I regret not discovering it earlier in my life, but I suppose it's better late than never 😉 My question is about strength. I practice yoga 4 hours a week and generally rotate between the same 10 online classes (each approx 1 hr in length) with my favorite online instructor. Although my flexibility has dramatically improved since 2020, it seems that I should be stronger at this point, but I feel sometimes that I am actually weaker. I find it challenging to hold certain basic poses (specifically warrior 2 on my left side, as well as standing pigeon pose on my left side). I have been told that I have bone loss of my left hip and maybe that is contributing to this issue? I am wondering if anyone has experienced something similar? Or maybe has some advice for me?
Thank you!
I just wanted to say that it is awesome that you are practicing 4 hours a week!! I hope you are able to get some helpful advice!
Good morning Diane,
My name is Jen…it’s been a few weeks since you posted and I’m now seeing this as I shop for clothes!! 😂 I am a physical therapist assistant, yoga teacher and completing an accredited yoga therapy program. I would love to talk to you and see if I could guide you. I have a website you can peek at and see if what I offer would help. This is a specific and personal question you have. So a challenge to answer you back specifically now. Here’s the site-feel free to look it over and send me a note if it feels right. Wonderful job with all you’ve done!
Peace, Jen
